Mike, I'm getting Really Tired of your personal attacks, which appear to
consist of claiming *you've* been attacked.  You can tell me I'm a lousy
professional editor, I "just sit there and snipe," and that I can't read
"for understanding," but if I respond to you with the slightest bit of
whimsy, I've *personally attacked* you.

I haven't.  Not yet.  But keep it up and I'll show you what a "personal
attack" is really like.

And it will be off-list.
